Längerer Text auf RPS, scheint lesenswert, mit vielen Verlinkungen auf entsprechende Quellen. Ich missbrauche das Forum mal als Bookmark!

Auszug aus dem Auszug:
British developer Alan Hazelden also revealed that most first-year PC sales of his puzzler A Good Snowman Is Hard To Build had been made through discounts. Discounts create revenue spikes. These spikes are so pronounced that the official price is all too often a fantasy, a framing device to make the real discounted price look like a bargain. Discount price dominates revenue and indeed, for many developers, it would not be far-fetched to suggest a game without a discount is a game off the market.
